High Bonds Set After Chase, Shootout

May 15, 1993

Evanston — Bond was set at $500,000 cash Friday for a 20-year-old Evanston man in connection with a police chase through Evanston and the Far North Side that ended in a shootout with two people wounded.

Witford Winston McLeod was the driver of a car containing two passengers who allegedly threatened two other men with a shotgun, authorities said. That incident sparked the police chase.

Bond was set at $200,000 for Devon McKenzie, 25, of Chicago's Far North Side. He was armed with an automatic pistol, police said. In the shootout Wednesday, he was wounded in the leg.

Both men were charged with aggravated assault and unlawful use of weapons.

On Thursday, bond was set at $250,000 for Mark Mills, 18, of Evanston, who was charged with unlawful use of a weapon.
